Anybody think this is absolutely retarded? Anywhere where they claim you can process a will in minutes sounds like a complete and total crock to me....

Collin Cowherd endorses it, so it must be legit.

So does Rome. Legalzoom is not a law firm..rather a company that gives self help that was started by top attornies.

Apparently so does FreeHuddle because it is the banner ad at the top of the page.

FreeHuddle endorses everybody... they show Babma and USC banners when those teams are discussed on college football forum too

I'd guess a "fill in the blanks" type of will would be adequate for the majority of people.

It has its place. I think it's a great service for the do-it-yourselfer. Now if you're an attorney, you probably don't like it so much!

I think it's a great service. A will is probably fairly standard, so why pay a lawyer $200.00 an hour when it can be done fairly simple by yourself.

I've never used it, but I've heard good things. Most wills are fairly standard (and many state codes have sample wills in them where you just fill in the blanks). A very basic will done by our trusts & estates guys runs a few thousand dollars. Unless you're doing something complicated, legalzoom may make a lot of sense.

For most people, it's a tradeoff. Do you want to pay $200 to have something "pretty good"? Or $1,000 to have it "very good"? Or $5,000 to have it "perfect"? For a big corporation with billions on the line, it makes sense to go to the best. For Joe Public, it may not be worth it.

Three things everyone needs to have:
Will
Living will
Durable health care power of attorney.
